The 1. FC Kaiserslautern reported back to the debut of his new coach Torsten Lieberknecht in the narrow promotion race of the 2nd Bundesliga.
In the duel of the traditional clubs with Schalke 04, the red devils on the Betzenberg prevailed 2: 1 (1: 0) and shortened the gap to relegation place three thanks to the cats of the competition again.
Daisuke Yokota (35th) and Ragnar Ache (77th) ended the negative series of the Palatinate, which had lost three times in succession before the release of Markus on Tuesday. The Schalke, who announced the farewell of Coach Kees van Wonderen at the end of the season, came only to compensate for the intermediate compensation by Moussa Sylla (61.). The lead over the danger zone for three games is nine points.
After turbulent days, the Palatinate Lieberknecht native wanted to send the “Signal” so that we will continue to scratch from behind, and will stay on it “. Attacker Ache (22nd/32nd) initially missed good opportunities before Yokota achieved the deserved leadership of the FCK. Schalke was only dangerous once through Sylla (45th).
Kaiserslautern won further chances shortly after the break, and Ache was always involved. However, negligence took revenge: Sylla was right and also dusted off. At the beginning of the final phase, the FCK fans were allowed to cheer briefly, but Ache had stood out in the sidelines (74th) during the supposed lead. In the 2-1, everything went clean: Ache executed dry into the corner.
